Locomotor Performance and Behaviour: Covariance at the Among-Individual and Residual Level, and the Impact of MotivationAgnani, Paul 22 January 2024 (has links)
One of the main objectives of evolutionary biology is to understand the reasons behind the maintenance of individual differences in a multitude of traits that influence fitness such as locomotor performance and behaviour. Because locomotor performance sets an "envelope" within which behaviour is expressed, it is likely that a multitude of co-adaptations exists between these two suites of traits. In recent years, a growing number of studies have identified associations of different strength and directions between performance and behaviour. Two main hypotheses have received support, on one hand locomotor performance could be "co-specialized" with behaviour in a manner that behaviour reduces predation risk, such that shyer, less active, less explorative animals should be the best sprinters and the most endurant. On the other hand, locomotor performance could "compensate" for behaviours that lead to increased predation risk, in a way that bolder, more active and explorative animals should be able to sprint faster and for longer. In my thesis I provide a review of published studies that successfully identify associations between locomotor performance and behaviour and classify each association as supporting the co-specialization or compensation hypothesis respectively. I further elaborate on the importance of using repeated measurements and (co)variance partitioning when studying correlations between labile traits. I also discuss one of the main challenges that comes with studying locomotor performance, namely the importance of the variation in motivation, both methodologically, by using different performance tests, but also physiologically, by using blood corticosterone measurements as indicators of such variation.
